Guild Wars 2

One thing to consider is your supply of fine materials. For instance, Leatherworking, Weaponsmithing, Huntsman, Tailoring, and Artifice all use Vial of Weak Blood. Trying to level any two of these at the same time will put a strain on that supply. You may find yourself forced to farm or purchase them. This is partly why I’ve chosen Jewelcrafting as my first profession. Still deciding the second…

I was about to start a similar thread. Leatherworker seems like a good choice as you can use most, if not all, of the items. Plus, it gives you bags. Weaponsmithing gives you the ability to craft your two melee weapons, dagger and sword. If you’re into alts, you could supply them as well. I wonder about alternatives such as Jewelcrafting and Cooking. Is Cooking really as involved and pricey as they say? Is it worth it? Karma vendors seem to offer a lot of the same things as Jewelcrafting. Can you craft significantly better items of the same level? Is Artificer worth considering for a Thief?
